Ruben Zacarias

This past weekend, some volunteers and I went to visit a volunteer in the Zambezia province named Eric.  He introduced us to his 18-year-old artist friend named Ruben Zacarias.

I ended up buy three paintings from him and he and his brother sold about 30 others from the volunteers visiting his community.  It was such an honor to meet such a talented young artist.

Don't you love the colors? He knows which colors work well together.  

Impressive!

Wow! Just...Wow!

As an aspiring artist myself, I find inspiration in Ruben's extraordinary work.  Eric's been helping Ruben showcase his abstract art on a website.  Please take a look at it here: RubensArt

Stay tuned to this kid's work.  It's only going to get better and better!
